This is an accepted version of this page This is the latest accepted revision, reviewed on 1 March 2025. Type of extremely powerful computer For other uses, see Supercomputer (disambiguation). The Blue Gene/P supercomputer "Intrepid" at Argonne National Laboratory (pictured 2007) runs 164,000 processor cores using normal data center air conditioning, grouped in 40 racks/cabinets connected by a ...
A Cray-1 supercomputer preserved at the Deutsches Museum. The history of supercomputing goes back to the 1960s when a series of computers at Control Data Corporation (CDC) were designed by Seymour Cray to use innovative designs and parallelism to achieve superior computational peak performance. [1]
One such example is the National Supercomputing Center at Qingdao's OceanLight supercomputer, completed in March 2021, which was submitted for, and won, the Gordon Bell Prize. The computer is an exaflop computer, but was not submitted to the TOP500 list; the first exaflop machine submitted to the TOP500 list was Frontier.
This is a historical list of fastest computers and includes computers and supercomputers which were considered the fastest in the world at the time they were built.
It appears not even computers are immune from getting their proverbial 15 minutes of fame. In this case, the IBM (IBM) supercomputer Watson will get its chance to grab the spotlight later this month.
Example architecture of a geographically disperse computing system connecting many nodes over a network. Grid computing uses a large number of computers in distributed, diverse administrative domains. It is an opportunistic approach which uses resources whenever they are available. [10] An example is BOINC a volunteer-based, opportunistic grid ...
Elon Musk’s just fired up Colossus—the world’s largest Nvidia GPU supercomputer built in just three months from start to finish. Christiaan Hetzner. Updated September 4, 2024 at 4:40 PM.
The Blue Gene/P supercomputer at Argonne National Lab. The IBM Blue Gene supercomputer uses the CNK operating system on the compute nodes, but uses a modified Linux-based kernel called I/O Node Kernel on the I/O nodes. [3] [19] CNK is a lightweight kernel that runs on each node and supports a single application running for a single user on that ...
